An alleged mold for a case that fits the fifth iteration of the Apple iPad confirms what we have seen earlier when it comes to hints about the design. That means a smaller bezel (who ever came up with the idea that a thick bezel was sexy in the first place?) and a thin, lighter device. In fact, the thickness of the tablet matches that of the Apple iPad mini. The volume rocker and the power button are also in the same position as the "mini" based on the case mold.

The next full-sized iPad will be constructed with a back made of "shiny, modern aluminun" according to a report, and a picture of another case for the slate shows the same smaller bezel and design cues taken from the Apple iPad mini including the rounded corners. From time to time, we have seen leaks appear for this tablet and all of them show a thinner, lighter design that looks like an iPad mini on steroids. Using new displays that have smaller LEDs is how Apple plans on reducing the size and weight of the device.

For example, not only do we have the case mold to look at, but pictures of another third party case have leaked and once again it supports the idea that the fifth iPad will be the Apple iPad mini's big brother. Checkout the slideshow below.

I just wrote to the editors not too long ago and suggested that if someone thumbs down a comment, they should have to submit a viable argument on why it was thumbed down. As the author of comment 10 suggested, I don't care about thumbs down unless it is coupled with an intelligent, healthy debate on why I could be wrong in a comment. That's how we learn. Otherwise, it's just douchebaggery plain and simple.

Totally agree with u slammer. PA needs to clean up this site, I talk to users of this site on other sites. Most say they don't enjoy PA as much due to the constant insults, and disrespect. Look around and you'll notice a lot of old timers don't come here anymore.

It would definitely be a great idea for pa to add as an option to see who gave you a thumbs up/down. Other sites do that too. For example,something like what disqus did,only you can see who gave you a thumbs up on your feed. So we can finally see who are those trolling. Btw,I don't think this will cause a fanwar

Dude you come on apple articles to hate on apple, and diss, insult and bash its users...then have the nerve to say just ignore them. Are you kidding me!??? Then you say you aren't interested in apple products, why do you need to come on apple articles to say you're not interested in apple products. Dude you sound both fake, and stupid.

forthe first time ever i agree with gallitoking, sure hes all for apple but this is an article on apple and ive not seen him show any disrespect recently, compare that to android fanboys who are the worst and just plain idiots

so inspector on the topic of respect why havent you said a thing to baby racer there? is it due to him been a android fanboy so its acceptable

Finally! Just the thing everyone has been waiting for! Innovation! 'A SMALLER BASEL' like people's hands are being f**ked by the 8mm< stuff they bring out. Ya Apple, focus on real stuff... Like a better interface maybe... Then crap on dummies heads!

I believe this article. The biggest changes I see coming to the iPad 5 are a improved processor (a7x) A improved camera. And new iPad mini like design. Beyond that it will get ios 7 which should be good and thats about it.
